Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation! Chapter 173 - 120: Death from Hypokalemia and the Family’s F
"What’s the situation now?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked over and imdiately asked in a deep voice.
"The orthopedic, neurosurgery, cardiac surgeons, and Director Zhou are in the operating room. Only two resident doctors and our four nurses are left, along with Dr. Xu from obstetrics and gynecology."
Nurse Chief Liu promptly gave Qin Feng a brief report on the situation to ensure he was aware of the current ergency status.
"Alright, quickly check the conditions in the resuscitation room and rearrange the observation beds to prevent a lack of beds for subsequent patients.
Notify the nurses to prepare all ergency dications, ready for imdiate response!"
"Got it, I’ll arrange it right away."
Upon hearing this, Liu Juan imdiately began organizing the nurses to get to work.
Beep~ Beep~
Just then, another ambulance stopped at the entrance.
"Gu Hai, co here!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng rushed over and shouted to an ergency resident doctor nearby.
Upon hearing the call, Nurse Chief Liu followed closely behind him.
The car door opened, and a stretcher was pushed out, followed by three or four family mbers besides the patient.
"What’s the situation?"
Qin Feng grabbed the stretcher and asked in a deep voice.
"I don’t know what happened; she just fainted out of the blue."
A man around fifty or sixty years old said anxiously.
"History of illnesses."
"Heart disease."
"Quickly, prepare for CPR!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked at Gu Hai and commanded, then imdiately entered the resuscitation room.
"Mom! Mom!"
"How is she? What’s going on?!"
"What’s really happening?!"
"Dear! Dear!"
...
"This is the resuscitation room, please step out quickly!"
Several family mbers of the patient wanted to follow inside but were blocked by Nurse Chief Liu at the door.
"Can you hear ?"
After a brief physical examination, Qin Feng had all the monitoring equipnt set up on the woman, and the situation imdiately displayed.
The patient was currently unconscious, pupils dilated, and the equipnt showed no heartbeat.
"Ventricular fibrillation, prepare 1mg of atropine, 1mg of epinephrine for IV push, blood gas analysis, Nurse Chief Liu, prepare for defibrillation."
Without any hesitation, Qin Feng looked at Gu Hai and said,
"You do it."
Gu Hai nodded and stepped forward.
"Hurry to prepare the dications."
Nurse Chief Liu handed the form to a nearby nurse, then brought the defibrillator.
"300J, first attempt, clear the bed."
Gu Hai picked up the defibrillator and delivered a strong shock.
The monitor still showed a flat line.
"360J, second attempt, clear the bed."
Once again, Gu Hai charged and delivered a forceful shock.
Still, there was no change...
"360J, third attempt, clear the bed."
Gu Hai charged again, pressed it on the woman’s chest, and released the current.
Bam!
Beep~ Beep~ Beep~
Finally, the heartbeat returned, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this mont, a doctor from the testing departnt opened the door and walked in, saying to everyone, "Director Qin, Dr. Gu, the patient has severe hypokalemia, 1.5 mmol per liter."
After saying this, he began ushering the anxious family mbers out.
"Co on, step outside first."
"Doctor, how is my mom doing?"
"Doctor, what’s wrong with my wife? Can you tell us?"
....
There wasn’t much ti to speak before the door closed again.
"Urgently replenish potassium, intravenous infusion, and closely monitor vital signs."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hai imdiately spoke to Nurse Chief Liu.
Qin Feng nodded and turned to leave.
The quality of ergency doctors is indeed very high, all forced out of necessity.
Once the fluids were administered, the woman was wheeled out of the resuscitation room into a separate monitoring room, followed by three questioning family mbers.
Qin Feng made a round, ca back, and walked in to look at Liu Juan.
"How’s the situation now?"
"Much better, the patient is starting to respond."
Liu Juan nodded and breathed slightly easier.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng nodded slightly and entered together.
"Nurse Chief Liu, are the test results out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Juan was montarily stunned, then looked at Qin Feng with a slight frown.
"Oh no, I forgot."
After saying it, she imdiately addressed the nurse beside her,
"Xiaoma, quick, draw blood samples for the patient’s potassium test."
...
Qin Feng watched as the patient had her blood drawn, feeling sowhat uneasy inside.
"Increase her infusion rate, add another 2mg of atropine."
"Okay, I’ll go now."
Upon hearing this, Nurse Chief Liu imdiately turned to leave to prepare the dications.
Qin Feng also walked out, continuing to direct the ergency work.
"Doctor, doctor."
Liu Juan had just prepared the dication, ready to head to the ward when suddenly a man supporting another completely limp man staggered over.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing this, Liu Juan hurried over to assist the man and asked.
"I don’t know either; this guy got drunk and vomited all over my car. I don’t know where to take him."
After the driver spoke, he directly pushed the drunken man into her arms,
"Hey, I’m leaving him with you! I’m not dealing with it anymore, he’s your problem now."
"Hey, don’t leave! Help out, will you...."
Liu Juan quickly called for help,
"Xiaowang, co help !"
"Ugh~"
Just then, the drunken man in Liu Juan’s arms suddenly spewed foul-slling vomit all over her.
Resident doctor Gu Hai also hurried over to help support the drunken man.
"Xiaowang, get a blanket and start a glucose infusion for him."
Though her nurse’s uniform was soaked in filth with an unbearable stench, Liu Juan remained unfazed and imdiately instructed the young nurse before her,
"I’ve been vomited on, let change clothes first."
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran towards the rest area.
At this point, the woman in the monitoring room suddenly appeared in distress, her facial features twisted, and she was shaking her head constantly.
"Mom, Mom, what’s wrong with you!"
The family mbers at the door saw this scene and rushed into the room, shouting loudly,
"Doctor! Doctor, co quickly! My mom is not okay!"
